VII. CONSIDERATION.
Again, consider how your way to Christ by Repentance and Faith, is beaten before you by thousands of sinners for your encouragement. You are not the first that ever adventured your Souls in this path: multitudes are gone before you, and that under as much guilt, fear and discouragement as you that come after can pretend unto; and not a man among them repulsed or discouraged; here they have found rest and peace to their weary Souls; Heb. 4. 3. Acts 13. 39. Here the greatest of sinners have been set forth for an ensample to you that should afterwards believe on his Name; 1 Tim. 1. 16. You see if you will not, others will joyfully accept the offers of Christ; what discouragements have you that they had not? Or what greater encouragements had they which God hath not given you this day? Therefore they shall be your Judges.
